Girls in the Middle Registration Now Open

The 7^th annual Girls in the Middle conference is coming up on Friday, April 3 at Lamar Community College.  Registration for the event is now available at www.lamarcc.edu/girls-in-the-middle. Students interested in attending the conference, as well as the adults who will accompany them, are encouraged to register as soon as possible.  Registration ends on March 12. There is a $5 fee for the conference that includes lunch and a t-shirt.

Girls in the Middle aims to introduce middle school girls to a wide range of career opportunities and encourage them to continue studying math, science and technology once they enter high school. Last year 73 girls from 7 schools in southeastern Colorado attended the conference.

This year girls are encouraged to “Be Bold” as they meet new friends and explore the different career options through demonstrations and hands-on activities.  The keynote speaker for the event will be Andrea Reinert, a Lamar native and current General Manager of City Club in Amarillo, Texas.
